Excellent flavors, exceptional quality food. small portions but the quality of flavors was unmatched. Best chowder I have ever had, best fish/ scallop/ shrimp tacos, great crab cakes, everything we had there was excellent. Would be nice to answer the phone but they are quite small and really don't need reservations.

A great spot to stop
Popped in here for a very late lunch and we were not disappointed- hubs had the bacon burger while I had the Brazilian scallop and shrimp tacos - absolutely delicious.

If I could rate a 4.5 I would as it’s better than just good but not 5 star-super cute fun vibe with indoor and outdoor seating in a fun casual atmosphere- our server was very pleasant and helpful in us making our selections/ I ordered a Fisherman’s melt which was an albacore tuna melt and it was hands down the best I have ever had-perfect blending of tuna with a gooey cheese topping but the best part was the incredibly crispy light focaccia bread! Delicious!! Hubby had crab cakes which were also very good- only downfall was I literally got a tuna melt— it looked so lost on this big plate all alone! No chips no pickle no Cole slaw! Nothing I think for the prices charged they could add a little side- same as my husband’s crab cakes- he got 2 crab cakes on a plate.. but it’s good! Try it!!

Probably the worst crab cake and clam chowder I have had in the past year. The chowder is more celery and potato versus clam and it was gluey. The crab cake was overly greasy and obviously deep fried versus pan fried. It was a greasy munch with no resemblance of crab. Please, their online ordering is a joke. Steer clear.

Delicious Dinner, Great Service, wonderful experience!
We arrived around 6pm or so, and the place was hopping! A sign forewarned us that they had lost 25% of their staff and asked for our patience. None-the-less, we were seated in a few minutes and attended to more quickly than we expected. The food would have been worth a far longer wait! I had mussels in a curry broth that was amazing—I had to stop myself from picking up the bowl and drinking the rest of the broth or ordering more bread to soak it up with. My husband had the best fish tacos he’s ever had—he said the ginger slaw and the perfectly breaded (light breading) and fried fish were a unique and delightful combo. My octogenarian father had crab cakes that he couldn’t stop complimenting. All three of us walked out licking our lips and talking about when we might be back in the area. Honestly, it was the thing we enjoyed the most about Gold Beach.
